Core Tip A psoas abscess caused from appendicitis is sometimes observed, and it has a high mortality rate because of the difficulty in diagnosing the origin of the abscess preoperatively. In our case, the patient had been previously treated for 3 years; however, the clinicians could not find the origin of the abscess and failed to resolve the problem. We successfully treated the patient using a laparoscopic approach. Only a small number of similar cases have treated patients using a laparoscopic method. We believe that this method helps diagnose the origin of the abscess and successfully treat complicated cases.
